[Emc-users] EMC2 Interface
Is it possible to change the EMC2 Interface? For example I'm used to having an X, Y, & Z Zero button. Only one interface has a X Zero button.

Re: [Emc-users] EMC2 Interface
Hi John The tkemc and mini graphical interfaces use the concept of active axis. If you click on the position displays the active axis will switch to that axis. You can see the active one because in manual mode there is a groove around it. Tkemc will home the active axis when you press the home button or jog it with the jog buttons next to home. Mini will show you the name of the axis it plans to home when you press the zero button. HTH Ray On Thu, 2007-07-26 at 06:07 -0500, John Thornton wrote: > Is it possible to change the EMC2 Interface?

The comma key slows the jog rate and period keys inreases it. Jog rate applies in both continuos and incremental modes. The help button in the top right of the screen has all the keystrokes to run it without the mouse. Ed. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [Emc-users] EMC2 Interface
Thanks Ray, I'm playing with TkEMC and by home it appears that it just zero's out that axis. I see what you mean by the active axis. Is there a way to set the speed of the jog? Can you select somewhere rapid or feed speed for the jog?

Re: [Emc-users] EMC2 Interface
Hi Ed, Thanks for the reply. I was too quick in posting I did find the axis speed slider and the keyboard shortcuts in the help file for the jog speed. At first I was looking for Feed Speed or Jog Speed and kinda skimmed over the one marked Axis Speed... Is there a way to toggle between rapid and jog?

Not a bad idea, when I first started my CNC conversion I was using CNCPro from Yeager and it had a three way toggle, slow, fast, and increment. Ed. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
